Just go "Jackie Ickx" white shirt - jeans - shoes, your choice.

Timeless, easy, classy.


Or if you want to make a statement and say something about yourself.

Something like this -

I think from the OP's posts that he'll not be up for spending nearly £5000 on a coat for this event.

Tell us what you think you should wear, have to hand, or can buy online.

As I said, go with what you are comfortable in. The main wealth indicator at these things is not what you’re wearing but how hot your girlfriend is.
I have pointed at a few things online and tasked my missus with shopping. Her eyes lit up with glee... I guess she likes looking at random blokes' "junk".

As for "wealth", all I want to do is fly under the radar. Missus, nor girlfriends will be attending.

Why are almost all of the pictures of black guys? I might be searching for the wrong kind of things I guess... I just want to see someone who looks a little bit like me to figure out what I might look like. A slightly toned-down Lewis Hamilton seems to be on the cards at the moment.
Looks like you or shaped like you?
Bit of both. I'm built like most of them. 6ft and "slim", but could probably do with a little more muscle definition though. I guess I lack imagination.

The problem with looking like you just stepped out of a catalogue is that it's not the real world.

I would honestly just go as yourself and not try to conform to some idea of what you think is expected. The only thing that matters is the colour of the pass around your neck.

Can’t help but surmise you’re overthinking this a tad. Plus if you genuinely have no idea how to dress yourself just let your wife do it.

Head to the Palm Angels website and purchase an entire outfit as modelled by one of the dashing gentlemen. Don't forget the accessories, being seen without your man bag is a big no no. rofl

This begs another question... what's the best colour? AND, do I have it around my neck whilst doing my best Borat "look at me look at me" impression, or shove it in a pocket?

Also... going as myself would probably offend a few too many people. In this instance, it's not the smell.

Genuinely... not sure if serious.

I think I will draw the line at accessories. I have a coupe of nice watches I could get out, but the batteries are probably flat.

Why?

Unless you wear clothes with offensive slogans and/or stink to high heaven, people really will not care a jot.

You're either desperately over-thinking this or desperately trying to be seen as contrary.

As stated, people will only care about the pass around your neck.

Nice watches don't have batteries. But I might be harbouring an old-fashioned opinion on that - plenty seem to wear an Apple watch and I wouldn't dream of it. Manual or self-winding only for me.

A wig, black framed glasses and practice your squinty-stare when somebody is talking to you. Tell everybody your name is Bernie and you should get access all areas/VIP baby.

OP - I know your original post specified that you weren't wishing to go into any details, but :

" I will be dipping between team garages. They all want a piece of me. Probably be best to be neutral on that one."

Also the bit about avoiding TV cameras if possible. Most F1 garages will readily entertain celebrities & potential wealthy sponsors, ex-drivers and wives/girlfriends maybe. That's about it.

Is it rude (and perhaps hinting at a touch of my jealousy) to ask how/why/what capacity you will be involved in this weekend ??

You're not Adrian Newey are you ??
